"We took Twitter down, it's true. Alan said with a smile on his face, "We just received an email from Twitter, we almost crashed Twitter's servers, we made history." The audience burst into applause, "Look, Lan Li, look what feats we've accomplished!"

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his calm and confident posture made the audience show a clear tacit understanding: this seems to be a habit for Lan Li.

"It's wonderful, we made history. It's really awesome. With a big smile on his face, Allen re-emphasized cheerfully and easily, "The most retweeted tweet in history, we did it." I think everyone in the room is a winner, and of course, Lan Li and I are the biggest winners. ”

The audience laughed again.

"I, uh, I just borrowed a hat from Farrell, and I thought, let's all get some money for a pizza, because everyone was silent just now, and no one seemed to answer my call......" Alan said as he turned around silently, and then the camera locked on her and ...... Harvey Weinstein.

At this time, Xavi's mood has calmed down, and he has once again regained his usual calm and composure, and after more than 20 years of Oscar season, he has reason and confidence that he is still the dominant side. And now, he needs to show his atmosphere and enjoy the evening, those eyes that narrowed into a slit once again flashed with the old fox's old way and cunning.

In the face of Allen's quip, this time, Harvey coped with it easily.

Harvey pulled cash out of his pocket—a number of assistants and managers had just appeared at the Dolby Theatre during the advertising break, and it was clear that the guests were ready.

Alan deliberately leaned out and looked at it carefully, "How much are you going to prepare?"

Harvey counted through a thick stack of banknotes and slipped it into Farrell's brown hat, "...... Two hundred. ”

Alan was not satisfied, but after hearing the numbers, he deliberately showed a reluctant look, "Oh, this is a starting price." ”

What is the starting price?

The guests all chuckled.

Alan then walked forward, "John, you can give twenty, twenty. John Travotta also pulled his wallet out of his pocket.

At this time, Kevin Spacey next to him also stood up, and Allen's eyes were only fixed on Kevin, and even began to count, "Ten?twenty?"

Kevin counted twenty dollars, pulled it out, and put the rest of the stack into his hat, "I'll just keep that." ”

Eren then showed a satisfied expression, "Thank you." Immediately afterwards, Alan pulled out a hundred dollars from his hat, deliberately made a monkey appearance, and hurriedly stuffed the bill into his pocket, which was so funny that the laughter of the audience erupted collectively.

Alan walked over one by one, teasing Brad Pitt, teasing Chiwett Ejio, teasing Meryl Streep, and finally pointing at Lan Li, "Hey, gentleman, I'm still waiting for you, we'll talk about it later." After the process, Allen said, "Let's welcome Robert De Niro and Penelope Cruz." ”

Everyone knows that the awards ceremony is in its final stages, but before the tense moment comes, Alan still enlivens the atmosphere with his unique humor and humor.

Robert De Niro and Penelope Cruz are about to present the awards in the screenwriting department.

First up is the Best Adapted Screenplay Award!

Why was this award given in the first place?

Because this is an award that is relatively lacking in suspense, and at the same time an award that is relatively weak in competition – at least until the awards ceremony begins.

"Twelve Years a Slave", "Philomena", "The Wolf of Wall Street", "Drunken Country Ballet", "Love Before Midnight".

Among the five nominated works, except for "Love Before Midnight", all of them were successfully nominated for Best Picture, but the overall focus was all on "12 Years of Slavery".

"Philomena" and "Drunken Country Ballad" were mediocre and fell out early, and the nomination was already the best praise and recognition, while "The Wolf of Wall Street" was trapped in its own controversy, and the whole awards season failed to really open up the situation, and the nomination can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

"Love Before Midnight" was the biggest surprise in the nomination stage, this series lasted for 18 years and was highly praised in the field of independent films, but it has never been able to win more recognition during the awards season, and many critics have praised this unexpected Oscar nomination.

In other words, the advantages of "12 years as a slave" are obvious. Even in the first stage, "12 Years a Slave" was the biggest hit, and the strong college PR in the second stage made the work unbeatable, and it was almost impossible to find a head-on opponent in the Best Adapted Screenplay department.

The only works that can slightly shake up "Twelve Years of Being a Slave" may be "Drunken Country Ballad" and "Love Before Midnight", both of which are the favorites of countless literary and artistic youths.

Therefore, this is the most stable department of "12 years as a slave", and there is no one.

But who knows, after the unveiling of the award ceremony, the situation has changed - now "12 years as a slave" is still empty-handed, and the only positive attraction compared to "American Hustle" is in the best adapted screenplay department, but if ...... If according to the development curve of "American Hustle" tonight, "12 Years a Slave" also lost the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, just like the unpopularity of Best Supporting Actress, then this will also directly announce that "12 Years a Slave" will withdraw from the competition for Best Picture.

In other words, the least suspenseful award has now become the last straw for "12 years of slavery", and they must win this little golden man in order to maintain the suspense tonight.

Robert gave Penelope the opportunity to announce the winners, and Penelope didn't deliberately create suspense, opening the envelope and announcing the answer, "John-Ridley, 'Twelve years as a slave'." ”

Finally!

"Twelve Years a Slave" finally won the award, the audience was jubilant and applauded, and the crew members stood up collectively as if they had won the best picture award, cheering and cheering their hands, at this time there was a cold sweat, and the heart hanging high could finally be put back in the chest.

No matter what, they still retain a glimmer of hope after all, although "Gravity" is extremely strong tonight, but they still retain the hope of hitting the ultimate prize, and every award awarded next may change the pattern of the whole audience, and "12 years of slavery" can still complete the turnaround!

In contrast to the "American scam" in which the second stage was unscored, the "Twelve Years of Slavery", which skillfully dominated the "race/race/card", still firmly held fate by the throat.

Next up is the Best Original Screenplay Award!

"Blue Jasmine", "Dallas Buyers Club", "She", "Nebraska", "American Scam".

The competition is even more fierce than the Best Supporting Actress award, and all five nominees have the strength to reach the top, except for "Blue Jasmine", the other four are all Best Picture nominees, and what is even more interesting is that "Blue Jasmine" is actually the biggest favorite in the department.

Throughout this year's awards season, Best Original Screenplay has always been the most anxious and closest award:

"She" has won countless supporters with her unique and novel perspective, captivating lines and structure. In the early stage, it was favored by major film festivals and film critics associations.

"Dallas Buyers Club" and "Nebraska" have some similarities, they are also low-budget independent works, they also focus on a specific group, they also move the audience with delicate emotions, and they have also won a lot of recognition for the inner changes and emotional flow of the characters, which has also won the praise of both works.

"American Hustle" is a star-studded affair, with its own uniqueness in terms of balance and scheduling in group dramas, and the scriptwriting technique of establishing the characters in just a few words is even more sophisticated, and the depth and width are worthy of recognition.

"Blue Jasmine" goes without saying, from the hand of Woody Allen, the drama of conflict and human exploration still has his usual black humor, and his line skills are still the top spot in the field of American films.

In the awards season, the five works are almost indistinguishable, judging from the number of nominations and the number of awards, the difference between each other's victory and defeat can really be called very small, each work has its own support group, and different weather vanes have chosen works that meet their own preferences, and the entire awards season presents a lively situation of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.

At present, "Blue Jasmine" has a slight advantage, but "American Scam" is the most vulnerable, but it is normal for the four Best Picture shortlisted works to overtake with the advantage of the second stage of college public relations, because the advantage of "Blue Jasmine" is already very weak.

Although the award for Best Original Screenplay may not change the direction of Best Picture - unless it is an "American hoax" upset, the Academy still arranged it later, once again showing its recognition and encouragement for original plays.

Robert De Niro didn't procrastinate, and after opening the envelope, he announced the results directly, "Spike Jones, 'she'." ”

Not an accident, more of a surprise.

In this year's awards season, "she", who has repeatedly won praise like a clear stream, has always been the most recognized part of the screenplay department, surpassing the two works of "Becoming John Malkovich" and "Adapted Screenplay" to become the most popular work of Spike Jones's career in the academy, and now successfully topping the Oscars, making this literary young man from the East Coast of the United States also gain a little golden man.

Now, there are only four awards left for the ceremony: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture!
